you realize nothing else was changed right? so those other options are still just as inefficient, just now DfB is inefficient as well. It's a common tactic, nerf things down to be as bad as everything else instead of buffing things to be as good as other options.
I had a couple of friends that I played with, who have actually quit the game because of this (not this change to dfb, the fact that nothing else really gives any kind of reward equal to the time being put in). To quote one of them
"Idk, while DFB was the reason for me quitting it should also be said that while it was nerfed if nothing else was buffed to fill the void of leveling properly then that will be a very annoying thing for me. If DFB can barely move you past 15, and DIB stops being effective at 30, something needs to pick the pace up. And if all there is left is questing for hours per level I won’t feel the wish to play."
Let me get this straight. His friends were silly for quitting due to their play style being restricted, but your friends wanting to quit because they chose to do DFB even though they didn’t have to aren’t? Hypocritical much?
You seem to have completely misunderstood the post. I even outlined it right in the post that this was not because of the DfB change, they quit before it because it was the only thing that was actually "efficient" to the point it made all else kind of pointless and it became boring very fast, this we clearly agree on. The problem is, you nerf DfB but you change nothing else, so now everything is just as inefficient as it was, and now just bringing down DfB to that level.
Now, you say you couldn't care less, but you clearly care enough for the ad hominems, the dismissing of my friends opinions as "silly" and "anecdotal", and "just throwing a tantrum". So ya, there are a few things hypocritical in your statement, more than the other guy pointed out.
